That's hardly a fair comparison; Linux was vapourware when 1.3.1 came
out.  how about NetBSD 1.4.1? What aspects would you like to compare?

I dont see why someone couldn't learn programming and kernel
development on NetBSD/pmax. The NetBSD code is certainly more complete
and more mature and supports more hardware.  I guess I dont see how
Linux on a pmax would suit anyone's needs as well as NetBSD.
But I am interested to hear from people who've tried both.
